Want to live off campus? Just email residencelife@cn.edu with your name and the address you will be commuting from, and we will get the process started. We recommend waiting to sign a lease agreement until your off-campus request is approved by the Office of Residence Life. To be considered for off-campus housing, you must meet one of the following criteria:
If you do not meet any of the above listed criteria, you may appeal these requirements by emailing residencelife@cn.edu with a letter of appeal explaining why you need to be exempt from the housing policy. The Off-Campus Review Board of faculty and staff will review your appeal within two weeks and email their decision to your C-N email account. Appeal decisions cannot be appealed again.
The earlier students start the ADA housing request process, the better. Providing Disability Services with documentation about your specific needs allows them to assist in providing exactly the right housing accommodation for you. Questions can be submitted to dhumphrey@cn.edu, or by calling the office at 865-471-3268.
If you are requesting to live off campus for medical reasons including allergies and/or headaches, but do not meet the minimum requirements, your request will be processed through the Office of Disability Services.
Commuter students have the option of purchasing meal plans for convenient on-campus dining options. Multiple plans are available, so you can pick one that best fits your schedule!
